A guilt free salt and vinegar potato chip that takes only minutes to make.

I have a chronic chip snacking issue.

If they were not so darned bad for you I would keep my pantry stocked with them at all times. Potato chips are seriously my favorite food of all time.

Now I have tried making them at home a variety of ways over the years, deep frying and oven baking seem to be the most popular. Yet for some reason I always burn them. Every. Single. Time! Then I saw my friend Rachel make these sweet potato chips in the microwave.... and my world changed. Little to no fat needed, ready in minutes and the toppings and flavors are endless!

I was recently asked to take part in a #HealthyChoices blog campaign with Black and Gold Farms. We had a fun twitter party last night talking about the benefits of eating red potatoes as well as healthy choices we are all making in the New Year. Not only did a learn a lot, it was super fun!

Low Fat Salt and Vinegar Potato ChipsIngredients:

1 large Black and Gold's Red Skinned Potato

1 cup malt vinegar

1 tbs extra light olive oil

Sea salt ( personal choice on how much to use)

Directions:

Using a mandolin or a sharp knife thinly slice your potato to about 1/8-1/16 thick. The thinner the better.

Place potato slices in a bowl of malt vinegar and soak in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. The long you soak them the more vinegar they absorb, so if you like the flavor and want to, increase the soak time.

Remove from the refrigerator, and pat dry with a paper towel.

Place on a parchment paper lined, microwave safe plate.

Lightly brush with olive oil on each side of the slices.

Sprinkle with sea salt.

Microwave on high for two minutes.

Flip potato slices, and return to the microwave for one minute and then flip again.

Continue to microwave for one minute increments until they are golden and crisp.

Remove from microwave and allow to cool and then dig in!

I am obsessed with salt and vinegar chips, but I never buy them b/c the hubs won't touch them. Result: only 1 person can be blamed for demolishing the bag in t-minus 8 minutes. With this healthier version, I can happily settle in with my entire plate to myself. LOVE.

Oh, i would definitely try these salt & vinegar chips, as I absolutely LOVE that type of chip!! I also saw a recipe for red potato and chick pea salad that I would love to make (found in the first link above).

I love to throw red potatoes, onions, and peppers in an aluminum foil pouch on the grill with just a bit of olive oil and a dash of sea salt. So tasty, and such a simple way to get quality carbs and veggies while grilling up lean protein!

I sauté sweet onions and orange bell peppers in olive oil. When they are starting to turn color and soften I add some all-natural smoked sausage (sliced) and some potatoes. Add some homemade chicken stock, cover and simmer until potatoes are cooked.

I like to slice or smash the potatoes and cook them with fresh thyme and garlic in olive oil. I saute them for a few minutes then cover them for about 20 minutes on med to finish cooking. they are delicious. The family loves them and asks for them all the time.

I like making oven fries by chunking up red and white potatoes (and sometimes sweet potatoes too) and putting them on a foil-lined baking sheet with a little olive oil and some italian seasoning. Bake at 425 degrees for about 40 minutes. Yum!
